Karl-Erik Forsslund, a pioneer in the preservation of local monumentsKarl-Erik Forsslund (1872-1941) was in his day a prominent figure in Swedish public life. Nowadays he is almost forgotten. He was a poet, a journalist and a novelist, dedicated all his life to the study of cultural history. He participated eagerly in public education and the maintenance of monuments. From 1898, when he married, until he died he lived in a traditional farmhouse, Storgården, close to Ludvika in Dalecarlia. Storgården was also the title of his most successful book, which appeared in 1900, a remarkable pamphlet idealizing life in the countryside.
